I put the decal girl print directly on the acrylic. I suspect this was their intention for fv500 prints because the extra space around the joystick allows the dust washer to slide over the acrylic without contacting the vinyl print thus avoiding damage to the vinyl.
I would not have peeled the decal. I would just have put it in with the backing on. The plexi cover means you don't need to stick anything down underneath.
As someone who is also very picky about design, it was really satisfying seeing the updated version! I recently found my old Dreamcast arcade stick, and I've watched a few Mayflash videos but been uninspired by the looks. This combination with the extra contrast of black, retro stripes, with the gray border and white case, and blue/pink buttons is absolutely perfect! Do you have any preference in versions of Virtua Fighter? I mostly used to play Soul Calibur (probably because it seemed easier and flashier), but I always wanted to take the time to get into Virtua Fighter.
I think you can stick the decal directly on the original sheet that came with the F500 Elite... I have same stick and it looks a bit boring which is why I watch different videos for ideas for cheap mods.
Is it comfortable to play with an arcade stick at home? I only use my PS4 controller and can't imagine finding a good position. Do you have it on your lap or on top of a table and does it have good grip? Cool video anyways, very technical and interesting :D
Did you peel off the Decal girl print prior to adding your updated print from Focus Attack? Or did you leave it on underneath it? Just wondering if the decal can be peeled off successfully.
This is great! I've been wanting to do this with my HRAP's for a long time, I think you've finally given me enough motivation to try it. 🙂
Heck yeah! Go for it!

thank you! my fav is virtua fighter 2! definitely my fav. Fighting vibers and last brox are also great in terms of 3d fighters.

Can you send me the link to buy the custom Sega artwork. Thanks

Its comfortable to play with on my lap, but it i was getting serious I would want it on a hard surface like a coffee table so there’s no wobble
The F500 is very heavy so it sits on your lap perfectly. I use it on my desk when PC gaming and on my lap when on console. It's a great bit of kit.
In the updated version where did you get the artwork done at?
focus attack
@@pixxellie do you by any chance have the psd file you used for the artwork?
@@julienb5925 I dont have it anymore. Sorry!

@@jebbyy Thanks !!
Can I ask what llb spring you use in your Mayflash. I got one yesterday but the stick feels a bit loose.
I used the stock spring iirc!
Yes it's too loose. I've just ordered a set with 2lb, 3lb and 4lb springs - I'll get to try them soon.
I would love to see a video on visiting retro game stores and seeing what sticks you could find.

I left it on and just covered it. I'm sure it can be peeled off without any issues. For stickers I usually use the hairdryer trick.
